Step into a painting, or contemplate reality through a virtual world
From now until September, Singapore Art Museum (SAM) is showing three new contemporary art exhibitions, featuring both local and international artists. The new immersive shows discuss significant topics revolving around the perception of our current world and pushes the boundaries of contemporary art through unconventional art experiences.
“The three new exhibitions showcase the breadth of presentations at SAM as we continue to profile contemporary artists from Singapore and beyond. From the acclaimed video installation by Hito Steyerl that contemplates the role of contemporary media to presentations by Jane Lee and six Singapore-based artists that shine a light on ever-evolving artistic practices, we hope that SAM’s diverse and immersive art experiences will offer new opportunities for audiences to encounter the boundless world of contemporary art,” says Eugene Tan, director of SAM.
